          Bye Bye Planet Earth. Nice knowing you.

          People are putting nature in more trouble now than at any other time in human history, with extinction looming over 1 million species of plants and animals, scientists said Monday.

          "We have reconfigured dramatically life on the planet," report co-chairman Eduardo Brondizio of Indiana University said at a press conference.

          Species loss is accelerating to a rate tens or hundreds of times faster than in the past, the report said. More than half a million species on land "have insufficient habitat for long-term survival" and are likely to go extinct, many within decades, unless their habitats are restored. The oceans are not any better off.

          "Humanity unwittingly is attempting to throttle the living planet and humanity's own future," said George Mason University biologist Thomas Lovejoy, who has been called the godfather of biodiversity for his research. He was not part of the report.

          "The biological diversity of this planet has been really hammered, and this is really our last chance to address all of that," Lovejoy said.

          Conservation scientists from around the world convened in Paris to issue the report, which exceeded 1,000 pages. The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) included more than 450 researchers who used 15,000 scientific and government reports. The report's summary had to be approved by representatives of all 109 nations.

          Good thing Trump won. Otherwise we'd be wasting our time protecting what little environment we have left. At least corporations got their money. Thank God.

              Sure. Let's just blame them and not do anything. Good plan.

                Missed the point. If China and India do nothing, the rest of us are left holding the bag.

                  We've already rescinded our leadership on the topic. We even eliminated safety rules put in after the BP spill. We have zero credibility on this topic and you blaming China and India is just rich. Oh, and per capita were actually number two.

                  The US cares about profit. Not the planet. That's obvious.

                    It's almost like it's a global problem requiring global solutions, and as one of the wealthiest countries in the world maybe we should be leading the way in providing them. We didn't get rich in isolation. I must have missed the bible verse that says "We got ours, F all y'all, and your smelly kids!"

                      That's America's Slogan.

                      And what's most fascinating about it is that Green Energy could be the new profit motive. But, no. Fossil Fuels need to destroy the planet comes first.

                        US should be leading by example, no?

                          China also has had rapid mobilization of solar panels and I believe India has taken similar measures. So basically they've done more positive than our country.

                            China certainly is not doing nothing. They are being far more proactive than we are.

                              THis. China is positioning themselves as a green tech leader. If we don't get with the f-cking program quick, we're going to miss out on a 100 billion dollar a decade business. I could even be short by an order of magnitude there. We do NOT want to miss this boat. It would be like us saying, "Nah, f-ck that oily black stuff. We're going to stick with wood."

                                And the thing is the Fossil Fuel companies are researching and developing the tech too because they know the change is coming but they are being incentivized to not push further. We could be way farther along with this if we just left it alone.
